Facial recognition is much different from analysis and detection - privacy concerns are much bigger. Recognition can be dicey, and businesses must be aware of these concerns as they start using this tech on a broader level. hubs.ly/Q01kDGTz0

Face AI: our infographic helps explain the difference between face detection, face analysis, and face recognition, and how they are connected. hubs.ly/Q01kpXSS0

Facial tracking - what are some its uses? In addition to things like healthcare diagnoses and treatment, there are various commercial uses. @Meta wants to use eye-tracking data to help advertisements be more successful. What do you think? hubs.ly/Q01kjjg80

According to @CBInsights Research, "An increasing number of companies are betting that consumers will soon be earning, spending & investing their money in shared, highly immersive virtual spaces that both mimic and go beyond what’s possible in real life." hubs.ly/Q01j-hCJ0

The metaverse is essentially creating a fully functioning virtual world that’ll soon be accessible to anyone with internet access. Digital avatars in the metaverse will be key elements of how we interact personally and professionally in the future. hubs.ly/Q01jMtjZ0

"[T]he metaverse—loosely defined as an extensive online world where interactions happen via digital avatars—has gone mainstream as part of 'Web3,' the internet’s third act in which users move from consumers to creators to residents in online worlds." hubs.ly/Q01jM2lX0

Our junior software engineer, Adil, attended @Microsoft's Mixed Reality Dev Days Conference and learned quite a bit about the current state and future of mixed reality in a variety of spaces. Things are getting pretty exciting out here! hubs.ly/Q01jgF1C0

Machine learning is modeled after the way young children learn, by taking in massive quantities of information and discovering patterns within that data. The algorithms can then use those patterns to make predictions and draw conclusions. hubs.ly/Q01hP3Rs0

"The basic eye detection plugin that we use...can tell if you're smiling or if you're frowning...nodding or shaking your head...because of the simplicity of the design and focus on the face, the blink detection--it...naturally fits on [mobile]." hubs.ly/Q01hKy1X0

"Virtual try-on and 360-degree product demonstrations decreased the need for in-person transactions by 25 percent as surveyed shoppers felt more informed and confident in their web purchases." via @SourcingJournal hubs.ly/Q01hrsbz0

Virtual try-on tools like this cut out the back-and-forth color-matching service some other hair extension companies offer. hubs.ly/Q01h6Rm00

With so many retailers using #Instagram to market their products, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. For fashion and beauty brands, there is a quick and simple way to provide customers with an optimal buying experience: virtual try-on. hubs.ly/Q01gTHJ60

One of the most exciting things about face AI tech is the potential in medicine and healthcare. It's a complicated area, but the tech - and the security features - are getting better every day. hubs.ly/Q01gwGN50

Companies can leverage facial landmark detection to gather the data they need to provide the services and products their customers desire the most. How does it work? We outline the details here. hubs.ly/Q01gtzR00

This piece from @DatagenTech is a great intro on facial landmarks used to identify and represent key parts of a human face - widely used for computer vision applications. hubs.ly/Q01gclnc0

How do today's animators draw up such accurate digital faces, with all the expressions and gestures that make things feel real? It starts with using facial motion capture in real-time to map human facial expressions to digital counterparts on-screen hubs.ly/Q01f_GGH0

@VentureBeat takes a look at how digital characters/avatars - and therefore experiences - are becoming more lifelike thanks to advances in AI, AR and VR. Even emotional responses can be picked up! #facialrecognition #animation #avatar hubs.ly/Q01fNX100

One of the younger members of our team, Adil, attended a webinar from @datagentech with @Meta and @IntuitiveSurge on the use of synthetic data in AI, AR, and VR. Fascinating topic; Adil tells us what he learned and what he loved. hubs.ly/Q01frwMf0

Meta understands the value of accurate eye tracking: "VR introduces a slew of new issues that simply don’t exist with today’s 2D displays...innovations [are] needed to close the gap fall into several major categories." hubs.ly/Q01f9FBY0
